[Translators-l] Ready for early translation: Tech News bulletin #15 (2014)

[Aya Mahfouz]

Hello Everyone,

  I have a small remark concerning the latest tech news. Bawolff changed
the frozen issue on Sunday to indicate that MediaWiki was not deployed due
to localization issues.


https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech%2FNews%2F2014%2F15&diff=8080351&oldid=8071894

Given that I'm usually late in doing my translations, I realized the change
just before I leave the page. But most of the translators, mostly the guys
who finalize their translations on Saturday, missed the update.

Would it be best for translators to bookmark the current issue to track
such sudden changes or is there a better solution?



Kind Regards,
Aya Saif El-yazal Mahfouz
